The home, which is nestled in Agoura Hills on Kanan Dume Road, sustained moderate damage with one structure burned on the property during the fire — an incredible feat as the canyon was almost entirely ignited from the freeway to the Pacific Ocean.

'There was no one at the house at the time it caught on fire,' a source told US Weekly during the fires. 'The part of the house that was used for the production offices has burned down … The whole back house is burned down and it traveled up to the backyard.'

A neighbor flagged down authorities and begged them to come to the area to save their homes from destruction.

'There was no one on Kanan Road,' Ava Friedman told US a few days after the fire. 'It was like a ghost town because everyone had evacuated, so the only cars driving along Kanan were firefighters or police cars, basically.

'These firefighters went down to the house and we showed them where the fire had started at The Bachelor house and they put it out. One structure was already burned when [we saw that] the fire started, but the fire could have spread more and actually destroyed more of that property. So yeah, we're really glad that we found a brave firefighter to put it out.'

Sources confirmed to the publication in January that the home was 'on the mend' with crews cleaning up the area to be able to film once again.

'Construction workers started tearing down the charred area on the property,' an insider told Us. 'They are knocking it down completely and it's looking like they will rebuild it. They want to have it ready before Bachelorette starts filming [in March].'

The mansion has hosted dozens of seasons of The Bachelor, and most recently began filming season 15 of The Bachelorette with Hannah Brown.
